Much anticipated musical schoolgirl anime K-On! (or けいおん！/Keion!) has aired, and seems to be very well received indeed. However, aside from the appealing KyoAni character designs and high production values, there is another potential source of appeal: pantsu.
As you can see below, the manga is not afraid of adding service elements…
Will these find their way into the anime proper?
The actual anime itself is appealing, as illustrated by Dance of Eternity:

It was very well animated. Some of Yui's small movements were just so realistic and really added to the feeling of the episode.
I love how when it's Kyoani we're talking about, no one complains about quality (ie. deformed fetus hands ON THE FIRST EPISODE) but mention Minami-ke and everyone pounces on the couple of frames of bad animation that go by so fast you wouldn't even notice if you hadn't been looking for them in the first place.
lol right on. Also look at the tiny feet and the odd way the girl walks XD
The way they animated them while they are playing the music, the movements I think are syn!
Delicious Mio <3
Yes im all for Mio. The best one out of all of them.
If u watch the OP again, Mio was in her pantsu already \(>w<)/
mioooo~~~~~~
it's Mio's show.
Oddly I'm drawn to her after watching the 1st ep. Don't know why.
probably the eyes.
yeah, the eyes. and the slight reminder of kagami :D
yup def. the eyes
Her eyes were KILLERS in the ED video!!
Mio! *(^O^)*
her delicious eyes /r/ing guro of her getting her eyes eating out....
Yeah, I gotta admit Mio was incredibly hot in the ED video. Loved both her and the ending itself. Watched it 4 times now lol.
ALL HAIL MIO!!! ALL HAIL MIO!!! ALL HAIL MIO!!!!!
She looks like moe version of Yomi!

i've just downloaded the first ep.. >.< cant wait to watch it!!
Where can I download it???....It looks very Moe! Is the Mio the blonde haired one?- she looks sweet.
tokyotosho
Just follow http://animesuki.com/
Thank You for your help! - I actually found it here:
http://exalpha-anime.blogspot.com/2009/03/k-on-preview-01.html
But thanks!
It's very charming and possibly addictive! My Favs are Tsugumi & Mio. (She's like a grown-up Shana)- When Mio gets kicked under the table I was totally sold on her.
Where was the Pantsu? it was as tame as "Azumanga Daioh"- but it made up for it in MOE.
MOE~ it is :3
and a follow up on watching it.... i must agree with the general consensu.. <3mio~~~~... but is it just me or does.. yui remind you of ushio.. (yeah i know its done by the same people, but i thought there'd b at least some variation)
This only makes me like Mio even more!
Too bad this show isn't in HD or at least initially. I do wonder why they are airing this in SD like Clannad.
Blame TBS? I think.
they're probably release hd in the dvd's... probably...
A Yui is fine too
Yeah. But only when there's no Mio around.
as expected from kyoani the OP/ED were great but because is kyoani i doubt there will be any fan service since i have yet to see 1 of their show with pantsu fan service.
And lol didn't see the DMC parody coming,Krauser II =))
Actually both Full Metal Panic and Haruhi had panty shots. FMP: TSR also had a nipple shot (of the twin Chinese assassins). It was the only nipple shot ever in a KyoAni anime. ;_;
In CoalGuys subs, you get to see a little bit of Enma Ai, from Jigoku Shoujo at around 13:21 - 13:23 Just look left... Its small, but you do notice her!
too bad there's no dance.
Itts Moe... but will be as good as Strike Witches, Lucky Star, Haruhi, and other cult classics :P
Only Pantsu...and maybe Sukumizu... will tell :D
I have seen the first episode. Looks to be a fine anime series!
It's amazing. Loved every bit of it. Loli Yui on the castanets made me melt~
If pantsu is added, which I doubt, this show will be on my top-tier.
Shes a ditz but a hilarious one
But i really wish they didn't this "widescreen airs 3 weeks later" thing again...
Mio makes me melt... And Yui is just so.. So... MOE I can't stand it~
They can't show all their goodies on the first episode. Let's hope for pantsu to accent the random plonking on their instruments.
musical anime? of course it'd do well. Isn't the whole reason Hariuhi was popular was because of the opening dance sequence? I used to imagine to myself that the majority of people who watched the show in Japan were like "HARUHI IS ON!", then watched the intro, and ignored the rest of the episode due to a sporadic outburst of dancing. Maybe sometimes their friends jump in out of nowhere to join them.
Yeah, I know that's pretty damn exaggerated, but this is Japan right? lol
Except the famous dance sequence is the ED, not the OP.
Personally I prefer the "live" performance of God Knows and Lost my Music.
Kinda cute, kinda wacky. Still looks like Lucky Star.
The one thing that irks me is how in so many scenes the hands and feet look out of proportion and ridiculously tiny...that reminded me of Akikan. Animation is decent, linework is questionable.
I'm sure they're doing it on purpose to make them look cuter and more innocent. Bigger heads, smaller everything else.
Haha I guess my intuition that the black haired girl was tsun is kinda correct =P
Can't wait to watch it.
Oh, and btw, SHIMAPAN!!! SHIMA SHIMA!
Ohh <3
lets see if THE CURSE OF EPISODE 3 will happen!?
lol episode 3... cringe
Worry Not! KyoAni will save us!
Did anyone else feel like the main characters are somewhat similar to those in Lucky Star (i.e. Yui = Tsukasa, Mio = Kagami, Tsumugi = Miyuki, Ritsu = Konata, sorta)?
my thought exactly
You're right, although it probably has more to do with generic anime characters than anything.
totally man, good thing i read that before i said it myself. i feel the most obvious one is mio/kagami and her whole relationship with ritsu/konata.
IT ALL FITS!
k, so who needs Haruhi?
HAIL K-ON! 0/ 0/ 0/
Here! Here!!! although alittle Mikuru would go a long way.
But Haruhi is around the corner..
lol
haha...the character design reminds me of kannagi and haruhi suzumiya XD
No complaints here. ^^
Oh god, 'Mugi's eybrows.
hotness
oh yeah, I remember the sepiroth cameo in the anime...
Mio looks a lot like Nagi, and the animation is synonymous to that of Kannagi.
That's cool.
that was what i was thinking lol
i gotta start watching this
DOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANT
It's a really good anime. the opening and ending theme are awesome too.
Wow! I'm already in love with it O_O'
Oh, LOL! Krauser-sama appears too!!
THAT'S KRAUSER-SAMA TO YOU, PUNK!
Looks like a perfect hybrid of Haruhi and Beck.
Expect a new viral marketing Internet phenomena~ <3
The girl of the black hair looks so hot!!
Delicious Mio is fukken delicious.
okok. i started watching ep1 subbed on veoh and i cant help but think this animation looks so familiar.. someone help me out!
im definitely gonna watch this just for Mio.
loving this anime and manga
Is it a Linda Linda Linda homage?
Artefact, did you forget the '-ly' suffix from 'proper' or do I suck horrendously at English Grammar?
Must be the second since no one mentioned it.
The word is describing "Anime", not "Find" - thus the adjective form is used instead of the adverb form.
Point taken guys, thanks for clearing it up for me.
Plus, properly looks silly, incomparioson to the proper way to say it, that being proper.
Using 'proper' would be grammatically correct, not to mention the 'ly' is often left out in speech in some dialects of English.
Beck meets schoolgirls with pantsu flashing? Hells yeahs! Definitely gonna watch.
I'll wait for the hentai of it. kukuku
Can't wait for that either. dohohoho
I just watched it subbed on youranimenow.com
The first episode was pretty good, but I hope it gets better.
I see they hired the same actress who plays Minorin to be Yui.
I'm glad she's decided not to be remembered as a one-character actress, though I'm sad to see the pink hair go.
Did they? ANN says Minorin is done by Yui Horie, but Yui is done by Aki Toyasaki.
And it's already horrendously too late for Horie Yui to be a one-character actress, anyway.
Not 'seiyuu', the 'actress'.
They look alike is what I'm saying.
Like Tezuka's Rock Holmes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_(manga_character)#Prominent_roles
Tezuka drew the same characters in a lot of his different manga, and sometimes gave them little salaries and contracts to appear in each of his stories. Kinda funny.
Rock is the most widely used character, and even aged throughout the life of the manga Tezuka wrote through the decades.
I think the designs look alot like Min-ke.
Also, by actress, you mean the dude considers his character designs to be single entities, rather than, doing a Rie, and just chaning the hair colour, then you have a new character?
So each character design consitutes a person.
Like Rock Holmes is the same Rock Holmes in each of Tezuka's works. Like he keeps hiring the same guy back to act in his manga.
Once before I read a little essay on the history of the character throughout his acting career, check it out here:
http://tezukainenglish.com/?q=node/100
But to put it simply... I think Minorin looks like Yui, despite the seiyuu.
But, simply put, shes not a real person...
Noooo! Don't ruin it for me!
Just watched the first ep. Seems like it will be pretty fun to watch. Go Light Music Club! Really liked the ending song, too. Hope they do more songs like it. Do all voice actresses know how to sing or what?
Pantsu? Pfft, for me it's all about Yui's thighs.
O.o when I saw the first episode I was like . . wow . . until the very end where they have the preview . . just wow . . .
Very well animated indeed
Mio-sama deserves her pantsu shot
and we all do as well
Have thought about watching this but then I reconsidered.
Is it a must watch?
I'm really liking K-on right now. It might be my favorite show of 2009.
Will watch this someday, someday.....
Watch it NOW!...MIO demands it!
I'd raep Mio!!!
High quality? Yeahbuwha-? The animation was Minami-ke quality and looked like half the animation cells were removed for a very jarring and stop and start style animation. Let's not count they are sitting down for most of it or just repeat motions, like their instrument playing.
lol a Korg's triton, exactly the same my brother uses
it will, the revealing of Mio's panties was the punchline of that one set of 4koma.
And I thought the manga was good. The anime just takes it to another level. I can seriously die from watching this anime. The cuteness and moe level are to high for my brain to handle to the point that I'm about to explode.
does anyone know where to download the ed song mp3?? i got addicted to this song:) especially MIO..
Yui is so cute~ Favorite character in this anime, hands down.
<3
The "I'LL SATSUGAI YOU!" shot cracked me up. What's more, during the build up for that one moment I was like 'wtf? is Krauser gonna jump out?'. And he did.
Mio... yeah. Hime cut + bass (I play it too)... Too much win in one package.
People have often wondered what O-Haruhi-sama would be like as a normal human. Ritsu is the answer. She even has the yellow headband for it.
Haha, nice bowl
(oh I'm such a bastard)
They censored the pantsu! NOOOOO I AM IN DESPAIR!!!
Hell, I'm in love with this.
Mio and Yui are just cute.
And I say CUTE.
Mio and Yui are my type.
